Fowls of the Air

Bible Reading:  Job 12:1-7, Genesis 2:18-25

Key Verse: Verse Job 12:7 & Gen 2:20 - “But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:” (vs 7) “And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.” (vs 20)

Key Words:  fowls of the air


The more we learn, the more we will be amazed at God's creation and realize that all that is was created by the Divine Creator. Take the hummingbird, for example.


The tiny hummingbird, weighing only about a tenth of an ounce, can perform complicated twists and turns and can fly backward and upside down. 


The flexibility of its shoulder joints allows it to move its wings forward and backward in a horizontal figure eight, beating them as many as 75 times per second, a maneuver that enables the hummingbird to hover near a flower while it drinks the nectar from it.  But the hummingbird doesn't soar or glide as some birds can, and its legs are so weak that it can't hop.  It has to fly even to change positions on a twig.


On the other hand, the ostrich, at 300 pounds, the largest of birds, can't fly.  But its legs are so strong that it can sprint up to 40 mph, taking strides of 12 to 15 feet.


The peregrine falcon, or duck hawk, is about the size of a crow, but it is the fastest creature on earth.  It can dive after prey at more than 175 mph.

What to do: 

    Remember that the creation of God is wonderful and so are you!
